Press rewind on a century of the 大象传媒 with an epic eight-hour soundscape: seismic events, cultural landmarks, unforgettable voices and 大象传媒 history intertwined with classical music.

The 2010s are witness to new political upheaval as Donald Trump is elected US president and the UK votes to leave the EU. There鈥檚 a miraculous rescue in Chile and Great Britain unites behind its athletes at the London 2012 Summer Olympics and Wimbledon. The musical landscape is more vibrant than ever: we hear music by Anna Meredith, Missy Mazzoli, John Luther Adams and Caroline Shaw.
